The town itself has a rich history and offers many tourist attractions such as the Minster of Our Lady, the House of the Elephant or the ruins of Kargegg Castle. There are also cultural highlights to discover here: Visit the annual jazz festival, for example, or enjoy classical music at the summer concert on the Mettnau peninsula.

Of course, the culinary side should not be missed either: Be sure to try the local speciality "Bodenseefelchen", a delicious fish from the lake. Or visit one of the many cosy restaurants and cafés in the old town.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are plenty of activities to experience in Radolfzell am Bodensee: Whether sailing, surfing, stand-up paddling or swimming - in summer the lake is a real dream for water sports enthusiasts. In winter, skiers and snowboarders can explore the nearby Feldberg.

    In Singen gestartet hat diese Rundtour vor allem mit dem Abschnitt entlang der Aach bis Radolfzell seine schönste Seite. Uns hat der doch recht hohe Strassenanteil ab Radolfzell bis Aach etwas gestört. Hier ist eben immer höhere Aufmerksamkeit gefragt - selbst wenn sich der Autoverkehr im großen und Ganzen in Grenzen gehalten hat.

    Bin (fast) genau diesen Weg erst letztes Wochenende gegangen. :) Allein die Gitterrost-Lösung in der Marienschlucht ist ... ich finde sie furchtbar. Klar - Sicherheit ist wichtig, aber das Erlebnis "Schlucht" wurde so kaputt gemacht. Nicht mehr empfehlenswert.

    Really enjoyed this hike. Sufficiently challenging with steep and sometimes long climbs and the Wutachschlucht, combined with beautiful views. Apart from the last leg when we walked along the lake into Konstanz the trail was very quiet. We had independently arranged accommodation. All were of excellent quality and good value. We had also organised taxis to transport our suitcases between hotels as there was no agency offering to do this. In spite of asking the Verein and various tourist boards I was given no real help or advice. I would recommend all of the companies we used - Taxi Feiburg 555555, Frank Witte, Taxi Striskovic, Dein Taxi and Taxi Vogler. It is not a cheap way of doing things but all of our bags were delivered on time without any problems. If doing this hike take plenty of water and lunch as there are not a lot of places along the way to fill up or buy food. The only disappointment we had was that there did not appear to be any plaque at the end of the hike in Konstanz to mark the end of the walk. We went to Tourist Information and they had no idea where the official end was. Regardless would really recommend the Querweg!

    Eine sehr schöne Runde - die Ruine ist eine Wucht! Herrliche Ausblicke - einsame Wege. In der Marienschlucht war trotz Wochentag einiges los. Ist jetzt nicht so ganz meins - aber dieses Konstrukt muss man schon mal gesehen haben. Auf dem Rückweg nach Bodman ist man wieder fast alleine.

    Perfekte Tour am Bodensee ohne den Lärm der Straßen! Schöne Bilder. Einkehren in der Bisonstube macht Spaß. Kam sogar mal im Fernsehen.

    Tour, wie alle Wanderfex- Touren, hervorragend ausgearbeitet ! Herrliche Ausblicke auf den Bodensee und das Alpenpanorama mit einigen direkten Zugängen und bei entsprechendem Wetter auch Bademöglichkeiten. Von der Marienschlucht war ich, ehrlich gesagt, etwas enttäuscht, sie kann z.B. der Monbachschlucht im Nordschwarzwald nicht das Wasser reichen! Das teuer errichtete" Baugerüst" ist nichts für wahre Naturfreunde, Turnschuh- und Sandalen- Touris haben ihren Spaß daran, auch für Kinder ganz nett. Der Biergarten und das Essen im Höfener Hof ist empfehlenswert! Für die Seenähe und Aussichten lohnt sich eine weitere Anfahrt, für die Schlucht meiner Meinung nach nicht!

    Allgemein geter Wandernweg, aber 2/3 der Zeit gingen wir auf dem Asphaltiertem Weg irgendwo in der Stadt oder in der Nähe. Das schlimste Teil war von Radolfzell bis Moos wo man auf einem Radweg laufen musste. Der Aufstieg war nicht sehr stark, was ziemlich angenehm war. Das beste Teil war Ankommen in Stein am Rhein, vor allen wenn man in der Stadt davor noch nicht war. Aber es hat si h auf jeden Fall gelohnt!

    Sehr schöne Tour durch eine abwechslungsreiche Landschaft, sogar mit einigen kurzen Singletrails. Unbedingt die kurzen Abstecher zu tollen Aussichtspunkten nehmen.

    schöne einfache Tour. Leider im Sommer wenig Blicke auf den See durch die Laubbäume. Dafür sehr schattig und für warme Tage geeignet.
